«Les Dieux Ont Soif» is the historical novel by Anatole France, published by Pocket in paperback (290 pages, in French).
In the Paris of the Terror, Évariste Gamelin, a young painter, becomes a juror of the Revolutionary Tribunal. His fanaticism for the cause contrasts with his kind character and with the love he feels for Élodie, daughter of his print dealer, while the decisions he makes before the accused raise a dilemma about justice and power.
The novel was originally published in 1912; this Pocket edition belongs to the Presses-Pocket collection.
A read for those who enjoy historical fiction, French classics, and stories set during the French Revolution.
Anatole France was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament".
